    HIV Planning Group (HPG)

    The HPG is a group of volunteers who offer a range of HIV-related experiences from around the state. Their primary function is to develop the multi-year Comprehensive HIV Care Service Plan, otherwise known as the Integrated HIV Prevention and Care Plan (IHPCP). The 5-year Plan provides guidance to the Department of Health and other organizations in the state for addressing HIV disease. It covers a range of topics regarding prevention, testing, access to care, quality treatment, and helping people stay in care. For more information about the Plan and the role of the HPG, view this brief overview.
